The Value and Meaning of Civil Social-Cultural Actors for Society

Today, socio-cultural work in Flanders is coming under increasing pressure. At lower levels of government, socio-cultural policy is being phased out and at other levels questions are being asked about the discretionary space and the roles of socio-cultural work. Support Center Socius requires scientific substantiation of the current value of socio-cultural actors. It is about gaining insight into the external perspective on socio-cultural work: what values do market players, governments and other civil society players attribute to socio-cultural work today? Hiva (KU Leuven) and ARIA (UAntwerp) are working together in this 1.5-year study.
